Headroom

Compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks with content-aware compressors before they reach the model—claimed 20% fewer tokens for coding agents and 60–95% fewer for JSON, same answers. Ships as a library, HTTP proxy, or MCP server, so it drops in front of whatever harness you already run.
